    Can you provide an example of this that will stand up?

    I can, however, provide example after example of Democrats and liberals doing that exact same thing. A few examples:

    • "Iraq is the war of choice, Afghanistan is the war of necessity" meaning that "At one point we had to pretend to care about foreign policy, but now we don't!"
    • "Pro-choice" meaning pro-abortion. In fact, in all of the environments where choice actually is good (economic choice, school choice, etc) the only "choice" liberals support is the kind that involves killing babies.
    • "Equality" and "equal opportunity" for racial discrimination
    • "Social justice" for communism

    or how about "we were attacked by afghanistan, not iraq"

    Wow, I didn't think people still made this argument. I think Lyndon Johnson would have disagreed.

    It's like you have forgotten all of our nation's political history since Lincoln. Lincoln was a Republican! Therefore, Democrats over 100 years later must be racist!

    And the Democrats opposed the equal protection clause. A bare majority of them voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. They hated Brown v. Board of Education.

    Now, they've changed the game by holding up those who they once discriminated against as victims so they can discriminate against others.

    Yet you keep proving my point. You actually have to explain your examples. And then you have to prove not that I'm crazy but that all conservatives are crazy.

    If I took the time out to respond to you seriously, I would lose the game.

    This is like saying "conceding" means "winning".

    Well, if you give up before you win, you don't get the dignity of saying "but I won!".

    If you are actually capable of giving a response, do it. Otherwise, don't bore us.

    Leif, I do this everyday. You're going to have to try a little harder than that.

    Gotta say I vote for Leif as the most successful troll BG has ever seen. Don't you people realize what he's doing after what? 50 threads? Just stop feeding him and he'll eventually go argue with himself in the mirror just for the sake of arguing.

    True fact, we didn't sell Alaska to the USA, but they took it from us to keep us from building a road for communists to invade with their polar bear army.

    I find it hilarious how Leif claims that Republicans are in favor of equality when their party platform is dedicated to raising the quality of life for only the extremely wealthy while letting the rest of society fight over the scraps from their benefactors' tables.
